Tim Brown has some ideas about Cowboys WRs Dez Bryant & Miles AustinProFootballTalk.comWith Bill Callahan as their new offensive coordinator, the Cowboys won’t be inviting former Raiders receiver Tim Brown to practice any time soon. But in case anyone is interested in hearing what he thinks, Brown has some ideas about how Cowboys receivers Dez Bryant and Miles Austin can stay healthy.

Brown didn’t go so far as to say that Austin and Bryant are “sabotaging” their careers, but he does think they need to change their ways.

NFL eliminates tuck rule and bars ball carriers from using helmets for contactBayAreaNewsGroupRaiders owner Mark Davis strayed from the organization's history of abstaining on league votes and voted for eliminating the tuck rule. The vote was 29-1 with the Redskins and Patriots abstaining.

Hue Jackson says Al Davis offered him the General Manager jobJim Trotter, SI...Jackson claims that before being hired as offensive coordinator in 2010, Al Davis offered him the position of general manager. Jackson says he turned it down because his passion is coaching and working with players. He says he and Davis never discussed him taking the head coach position -- contrary to speculation that he accepted the coordinator position with an eye on the top job, held by Tom Cable at the time...

Now my opinion on the matter may differ from others but that's what makes it an opinion. I believe that the NFL's Rooney Rule ( which was implemented in 2003 to make it a requirement by NFL clubs to interview minorities for coaching positions on their teams) is that it's unnecessary. I understand why this Rule has been placed in the league but in my eyes its unnecessary. Personally I don't want to be hired for a job based on my ethnicity. I want the job because the employer believes I am the best person for the job. It'd be more of a slap in the face being interviewed just because a team has to by league rules. Now the Lions were fined 200,000 because they found a coach they wanted for their team, hired that coach before another team had the chance to intervene & didn't spend their time probing the open market for other candidates they had no intention of hiring, minority or other. I don't want my team losing out on the opportunity to have the likes of a John Madden or a Tony Dungy coaching my team just because they spent their valuable time interviewing other coaches just so they won't be fined. Same goes for the players. I want the best player for the position & the best coach for the job. It's 2013 for crying out loud.... can we get over this crap!?!

On Mr. Umm-uhhh McKenzie, we have to have patience with this guy, not only through his BOOORING press conferences but with his actions in building our team. D.A. on the other hand needs to go get his balls out of the pickle jar & duct tape those suckers back on or "at the end-of-the-day" his ass will be hittin' the road jack!

I know this was brought up a few months ago & nobody really commented on it. Now I have my own opinion on this Rooney Rule but I would like to here The Nations first before I go on a rant.

It's BS. Hire the best person for the job, bottom line.

ON THAT NOTE.....I BELIEVE THAT REGGIE IS A COMPLETE BUST AS GM...... WHY THEN ARE WE LOOKING TO HOLMGRIN ?......FOR WHAT? FROM DENNIS ALLEN TO NOW ITS BEEN A RUN OF COMPLETE FAILURES..... WE NEED TO FIRE THEM BOTH AND START OVER.

for those who know football, they realize how important Moss has been to the San Fran offense. He is no longer a #1 but a serious threat that must be accounted for easing pressure off Crabtree and Davis. I would be interested to see him in arizona if the 9ers don't keep him and give some relief to Fitzgerald. Then if they sign Vick, they would have a potential for a very good offense

I'm surprised Harris was actually able to hit him. I'd expect him to make a move on the guy and miss ... repeatedly. You'd think the guy could have just walked right past Harris, after Harris false started a few times.

wow, the jets are even more tone-deaf to their fans than the raiders have been in recent years. they sign tebow and then don't play him (because he sucks), they give dirty sanchez a giant contract and then bench him, they suck badly, and now they are exploring signing the biggest bust of all time. wow. talk about anti-marketing ...

i'd rather see russell go to another afc west team, so we can boo and beat his ass twice a year. manning goes down, and russell takes the field ... and denver fans start to cry ...

He has no drive and questionable talent (any that he had was gone after leaving LSU).

JaWalrus will be a ESPN 30 for 30 film someday.

his timing with press announcements is as good as it was as qb. he says he's lost 12 pounds, a small amount for a pro athlete who's already in shape. but he still weighs 308 pounds! why not wait to call the press until he's down to 275 or 280? this fucker wants a pat on the back for getting down to 308? he could probably drop 12 pounds by switching to diet purple drank. who in the hell is advising him?

it's just as bad as the last time he reached out to the press, when he was supposedly working with john lucas. jawalrus said he'd learned from all the things he did. 'for example,' the interviewer asked him. 'uhh, i'm not really sure what i did wrong.' you know his agent, or whoever the hell is advising him, had to be shitting himself at that moment. practice your lines, jamarcus! the interview is only 5 minutes long!!!

did he build the 50-yard field he said he was going to build a year ago? and why did it take him 2 years to say he was thinking about building a field? he's been sitting on his fat ass, admittedly not interested in football, but now he says he wants to play. uhh, dude, the season is over. too bad you finally got interested in january.

you can't make this shit up. if a comedian made up a character like this, we'd laugh and say it was too unrealistic. and we fucking drafted him. wow.

Michael Crabtree investigated for sexual assault on eve of NFC Championship GameHarbaugh had previously told the team that "we can do anything in the world and we can come and talk to him and he’ll forgive us except put our hands on women. If you put your hand on a woman then you’re done in his book."
